What is ibmSystemProcessorDescription?

This is intended to hold a general free-text description of this processor instance, as reported by the system's hardware inventory; the source MIB's own DESCRIPTION clause for this field is itself only the generic placeholder "General description of the object". Admins would use it as a human-readable summary field when a quick label is needed, without decoding the numeric family, stepping, and clock-speed fields separately. Illustratively, this field might contain a string such as "Intel Xeon Processor" summarizing the CPU in plain terms.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.140.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-PROCESSOR-MIB::ibmSystemProcessorDescription

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.140.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-PROCESSOR-MIB::ibmSystemProcessorDescription.1
